SUPPLY AND DEMAND.
BY BRADFORD DU BOIs.

Hurrah for the Law of Supply and Demand That regulates everything in the land The rate of wages, he price of stocks, And the size of the Vanderbilt pile of rocks !" Where'er there's man with hungry maw It all comas abont through this beautiful law; And though willing tc work with his able right
 hand,
 No work can he get for Supply and Demand Where'er there's man with nary c"at To his back, the reason Is not far remote; It can plainly be seen with but half an eye, It's all on account of Demand and Supply. Where'er poor seamstress is bound to the
 wheel
 And for long hours bends OCT the sw ft.aying Till, weary and faint, the work falls from her
 hand.
 It's pretty clear ease of Supply and Demand If the hard working farmer cannot sell his wheat For "spondulicks" sufficient to buy food to eat Ii is not because railroad freights are SO high, Oh, no, my dear sir it's Demand and Supply When a great human hye called factory, shuts
 down,
 And sends consternation all over the town, With stacks of goods, wanting market, on
 hand,
 Why don't they catch on" to Supply and De,
 mandy
 Then hurrah! for the law of Demand and
 Supply,
 Tha. regulates everything under the sky: The corners in coal, grain, provisions and oil, And the grabbing all up of the rich virgin soil LII lho osciueHldlh Wltl ln' ucpt, DohuS anu Solu, The leaving of greenbacks right out in the cold; Big banking, monopoly and stock iobbing pools, Along with the size of the new crop of foo's. It regulates" franchises too, on Broadway; It regulates "boodle"-(dont give it away It regulates taxes, it regula es rent, And gives to the usurer twenty per cent. It keeps in subject,n ,n the dull labor hordes; It fills up the chests of our great money lords: And, when for just reasons they're brought to a
 stand,
 They've only to answer" Supply and Demand '

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

PROuDHON LIBRARY. .--Proudhon writ ingS translated from the French by Ben. k. Tucker, and issued in monthly install ments, at 25 cents each, or $3. .00 per year. Address, Proudhon Library, Box 33G6, Boston, Mass It is a case of "old head on young shoulders" intensified. Social. ists with time for retrospective rumina- tion may find pleasure in reading Proud hon, but there's the pinch. Since Marx and the vigorous Socialist agitation, it is hard to grovel among the dry bones of exploded theories and fanCiful notions clothed in the threadbare garments of a worn-out philosophy. Boston, we should judge, would be a good field for Mr. Fuckers labors, and doubt Mir. Tucker thinks so, too.
 The Truth Seeker Company, 2S Lafay- ette place, New York, has just issued: ECONOMIC EQUITIES, by J. K. Ingalls, (63 pp., paper, price, 9 cents), an inter- esting contribution to current labor liter ature; LITTLE LESSONS FOR LITTLE FOLKS, by Mrs. E. D. Slenker-"Aunt Emina' (9S pp., board cover, price, 40 cents)- solid mental food for the youngsters; and A LAY SERMON, by Robert G. Ingersoll (25 pp., paper price, 5 cents), worthy of place in every labor library and worthy of the bright mind of the author.
 The Standard, Henry Georges new weekly paper, comes to hand looking business-like and with an air of danger to "vested' interests in land that is deci- delly refreshing. The universal verdict seems to be: "A fine paper" Eight pages of solid reading matter, including d bold defense of Dr. Edward McGlynn by Mr. George characterize the first number. The subscription price is $250 per year, and single copies , cents. Pub lished at 25 Ann street, New York.
 1he LubOr Ledder is the name of a new weekly from Boston. The names of Frank K Foster and George E. McNeill grace the head of the editorial page as managing editor and business manager respectively. They 'propose to con demn cant and fight humbug in the labor movement as elsewhere" More power to them, but isn't it an insinuation upon cultured Boston?
 From the Socialist League, London, we have received No. , of the Socialist Plat form series, entitled ORGANIZED LABOR, being an essay on ''the duty of Trades Unions in relation to Socialism," by Thomas Binning, of the London Society of Compositors.
 Fl Pueblo is the name of new weekly paper, in the Spanish language, published at Key West, Florida, in the interest of the K, of L. and Organized Labor .SniHd!

DEMOCRACY COMPETENT.
The Labor Movement Must Dispense
 With Boss Rule.

In the columns of the ADvo- CATE of January l, there appeared an extract from the London Justice, in which the writer makes the fol- lowing astonishing proposition:
 "Whilst knowing perfectly we'll that no organization of workers in opposition to the interests of their employers can be carried on in a strictly democratic man mer, yet the danger of placing all the power in the hands of one man must be vigilantly avoided"
 am surprised that such an idea as that expressed in the first clause of the paragraph, should come from the pen of a Socialist, and l can only attribute it to a lingering taint of monarchical education still hanging about the author.

WOMAN'S DISADVANTAGE.

To tue Workmen's Advocate:
 Permit me to suggest in reply to w. Ills communication in last weeks ADvo. CATE that there is difference in the DO sitions of women as employers an as citizens As employers they are placed at no disadvantage by reason of their sex in their dealings with their employee. The wages which they must pay and the hours of surplus labor which they can extort are determined by considerations wholly apart from the sex of the employ CT.
 But as citizens, all women, employers and employed, and those who do noth- ing, are at a specific disadvantage i'm posed upon them by law by reason of their sex. And so long as this disadvan tage remains it may be expedient to claim a privilege which would be prepos- terous were all citizens really equal be- fore the law.
 This is the ground taken by the Cen tral Labor Union of this city in the Druse affair, as will be seen from the following extract from its organ, the Ledder, from the issue of December 2Sth, last
 lO IlCl IllC otdtC Ildo ICluSttl and representation. It has treated her as infants and persons of unsound mind are treated. To be consistent, the State should continue that treatment uniform ly throughout. It is neither fair n,r honest to change the course of treatment when case occurs by which new re- responsibilities may be thrust upon one of these incapable classes. The unfarness is seen in this, that while in all respects, as far as regards any advantage to her self, she is treated as incapable, just as soon as the situation is to her disadvan- tage she is treated as if fully responsible and held to that illogical responsibility with the utmost rigor."
 The position of the Women's sutfra gists of the State is formulated as fol- lows, by Mrs, Lille Devereux Blake, President of the State Suffrage League, in her weekly letter to the H'onun's JOurHdi
 ''Of course we all realize that it is ab surd and illogical to ask for such differ ence of punishment for men and women when the crime is identical; but the de- mand will serve to emphasize our protest against all inequality. As has been heretofore explained, we are quite ready to assume equal duties and responsibili- ties with men, if we have equal privi- leges. But so long as women are politi- cally minors, we claim that they should be treated with the lcniency shown to minors. If woman may not vote, neither shall she hang, ought to be an axiom of justice" W.

with nicety the relative value of different grddeS of labor in any given industry, and while the industrial statistician can readily ascertain the approximate quall- fty needed by the community of the va rious commodities, we have as yet no standard by which to determine the rela- tive value of the different Kinds of labor, For instance, how much farm labor would be equal to days work in the mines, or on the railroad, or at the ease" or at the desk?
 l do not remember having seen in any book on the Social Problem. nor in any paper published in the interest of Social ism, reference to any plan or system by which the value of different kinds of labor could he surely and justly arrived at.
 We regard all labor as as alike neces- sary, but we are aware that the perform ance of some kinds of labor is a much greater drain upon the vitality of those engaged at 1t than the performance of some other kinds involve. Wealso agree that the right to life is natural and in- alienable one; why then, should we not make the expended life force the measure of value of the different kinds of labor and call into acquisition the services of the vital statlstician to ascertain the rela- tive value of the farmer, railrOader, tcle- grapher, iron or glass worker, etc. In such manner, the natural worth of each mans labor could be determined and justice done to everyone, and much less dependence would need be placed on that jack o-lantern guide known aS sup ply and demand than under any other system or plan ever brought under my | notice.
 | lt may be that the sane idea has been advanced by others before, but if it has have not noticed it, if indeed it has been before advanced. think it is worthy of the consideration of all inter- ] ested in the advancement of the Socialist movement.
 The course to be followed, l think, would be, that the average lease of fife | be the standard of value of labor and the | labor of such avocations as insure the average lease of life to those engaged | therein would be rated at par" as an | occupation involves more danger to life either from accident or sickness, a pre- mium should be paid on the labor and as it involved less of such danger, the labor value would fall below par"

BIG SlX'S' BALL.

Next Tuesday evening, the 18th inst, New York Typographical Union, No. 6, will "hold down" Irving Hall with it's annual Recep- ton and Ball. It is a fact, for the Complimentary before us so de- poneth, or to that effect. Fifty cents pays for a bevel-edged ticket of admission for gentleman and la dies. Music will be furnished by Baynes' 69th Regiment Band, and Neal, the Florist, will present a handsome basket of flowers, to be drawn for by the ladies, who will re- ceive boquet each. Nothing in- finiuesimal about "Big Six"

"EXCEL.SlORp" !"

How does Socialism propose to remedy the evils of Society? Rome was not built in day. Socialism cannot remedy these evils in day or month or year. The first thing to be done is to agitate, agitate, agitate, and get poor men to think for themselves and see that they are afflicted with many evils which can be remedied. As long as a sick man fan cies he is well, he will donothing to cure himself. As long as poor men do not re- allze that they are not as happy as they ought to be, they will do nothing to bet ter their condition. Socialism, therefore, wants to make them discontented so that they will rouse themselves, act in har- mony with one another take possession of the government and manage it, not in the interest of rich men and corporations, but for the greatest good of the greatest number.
 The human race is indebted for all its progress to discontented men. When men are contented they are like water in a pond-they are stagnant and do not move on. The slaves of the South, if left to themselves, would have remained in slavery for centuries. They were well fed, sufficiently clothed and had only moderate work to do. They eat their food with eager appetite, slept soundly at night, begat children by the dozen, and increased from few hundred thousands to four millions. Still, what liberty loving man has not a feeling of contempt for them for being so contented under the circumstances?
 The doctrine taught by churches that people should be humble and contented within their station in life savers of priest craft, and is false and detestable. Socialism teaches that men should not be contented, but should continually strive to better their condition. Social ism is progressive, vigorous and hopeful, like the youth who bore ''the banner with the strange device. 'excelsiorr"
